The only thing scarier than Godzilla is Godzilla's lawyers.
Greenpeace is the world's largest feel-good organisation now, and I can say that 'cause I am one of their co-founders.
I will not watch a whale die. I've not seen a whale die since I left Greenpeace in 1977.
People feel good about giving money to Greenpeace.
Greenpeace has a fast ship that could stop the whalers cold.
Sea Shepherd is to terrorism what Groucho was to Marxism.
I have an unexplainable belief that I will never cause harm or be harmed while at sea. Because of this, I feel secure at sea: I feel secure in the ice, I feel secure in the storms, and I feel secure in confrontations.
I've won some awards. 'Time' magazine designated me as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th century. Oh, and I've got some honorary citizenships, like from the Conch Republic of the Florida Keys. But the one thing I am proud of is I didn't get the Chevron environmental award. Never did get that one.
Everybody is a hypocrite. You can't live on this planet without being a hypocrite.
It is true that many of the Sea Shepherd crewmembers are inexperienced, but the fact is that these volunteers bring a passion to the project that cannot be found in a hired crew.
In December 2012, the U.S. 9th district court granted a temporary injunction to the Japanese whalers that ordered the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society U.S.A. to not approach within 500 yards of the whaling vessels.
We'll lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than we've lost in the last 65 million years. If we don't find answers to these problems, we're gonna be victims of this extinction event that we're at fault for.
I don't see the point in making a distinction between natives having more of a right to kill whales than nonnative people.
NATO isn't going to be concerned about fishing.
The fact is, Japan's whaling is illegal, so just because there is a natural disaster in Japan is no reason for us to stop opposing their illegal activities in the Southern Ocean.
I have never suffered under any delusion that saving the whales in the Antarctic sanctuary would be easy, but the one thing I am certain of is that I and my passionate crew of international volunteers will never quit defending life in the seas from poachers, no matter what consequences we must endure to do so.
No words can describe the personal liberation that heading seaward bestows upon me. In this aquatic realm, no man or woman is subject to the petty decrees of social bureaucracy.
As long as there is a Southern Ocean whale sanctuary, Sea Shepherd crew will continue to patrol and defend it.
Protesting against illegal activity is not piracy.
I always say, 'I'm not a pirate, I just play one on TV.'
